[Smalltalk Image] How often do you change your image?

i keep seeing how lots of people are changing their image daily. I am wondering if i am doing something wrong on my end.

i have my project set up with a metacello configuration that brings in everything else i need for my project. this includes seaside.

the thing i notice is that seaside takes a LONG time to compile (well, a few minutes). does this sound excessive?

do people just fire up a new image, Gofer their projects, and go get coffee?

thanks!

Sergio,

My images usually "survives" between one day and a week (until the next
Classname name: 'Something' ... my favorite thing to wreck everything :-( ).

As you mentioned I use Metacello Configs to load everything I need. This
also means I can be reasonably sure to catch all dependencies. I wrote
some sample scripts which take a Pharo stock image, load my stuff and
save the image automatically.

When working with Seaside (different project, only in the office) I
usually keep an "preloaded" image around. This "preloaded" image has
Seaside already loaded. So to start from scratch with my stuff I don't
start from the stock image but this preloaded image instead. Makes
things much faster.
I tend to update this preloaded image around every 2-3 weeks.

CU,

Udo

Hi Sergio,

Usually, you should load everything into a fresh image to make sure you can uncover dependency problems , class initialization problems, etc.

To save some time, I usually work from a "semi-clean" image.... For instance, if you work with seaside, I'd load Seaside into a fresh image and save that one as the basis for your work. Then you load your stuff daily into that fresh semi-clean image.

But you should make sure you reload *everything* into a fresh image once in a while, just to make sure you don't end up with a terrible mess at the end of a project!

I've always done this with VW, VAST, Dolphin & VSE and it did save me LOTS of problems!

P.S. The "load everything while you get a coffee" ain't that bad! ;)
